PREFACE
^x
In early life I loved the society of aged people, and com-
mitted to writing many facts relating to our family. After-
ward, during a residence of thirty years outside of my native
state, I learned to value these records, and enlarged them from
time to time.
The secretary of the New England Historic-Genealogical
Society, John W. Dean, Esq., suggested to me the idea of
including in these records, so far as possible, all the known
descendants of our ancestor, John Foulsam ; and I soon found
others willing to aid in the difficult work of collecting materials
to be published and preserved. To none am I more indebted
than to the collections of the late Judge John Kelley, published
in the Exeter News- Letter from 1S38 to 1S50. Edward P.
Coffin, Esq., late of Skowhegan, Me., the Rev. Moses Folsom,
late of Effingham, deceased, Charles Burleigh, of Portland,
author of the Burleigh Geneatogy, Joseph Foster, of the U. S.
Navy, and many others, whose names will be found in the fol-
lowing pages, deserve the thanks of the family for their contri-
butions to the work.
Of the imperfections of this work none can be more sensible
than the writer ; but after so many years of toil, it seems best to
offer the results of his researches to the family, who can never
know the amount of time and labor he has spent on it.
The names of many will not be found on these pages, because
they would not take the trouble to send me their records. I do
not know as they belong to our family, although I have found
none of the name, except in the Southern states, who can trace
their origin to any other than our ancestor, John Folsom^ It
has been impossible to fix all the dates exactly correct. Many

have been careless in copying their records ; and when records
differ, I have not often any means of correcting the errors^ and
deciding which is the true record. When I have found evidence
of an error, I have corrected it.
Some will be disajDpointed that they and their friends receive
"no more extended notice in this work. Had I given full bio-
graphical sketches of all the good people named in this volume,
I should have madej'fz'e volumes instead of one. Would those
^who complain be willing to pay their proportion oi Jive times
the expense ? Besides, if they are able and vv'illing to pay five
times what I ask for this volume, the expense of such a large
work would put it beyond the reach of hundreds who would
gladly pay for this volume, and highly value it. So I have
ibeen obliged to abridge many interesting sketches that I have
in my possession, and have not obtained others that I might
have procured.
It would be interesting to trace back our family into the place
from which they received their surname — Folsham — in Norfolk
county, England ; but more than one hundred years ago the
records of that old church and parish were destroyed by fire,
so that manv old families, descended from citizens of that place,
are unable to trace their ancestry. Our ancestors left Folsham
some centuries before John Folsham came to America.
After long and perplexing study of the records of families and
of chvnxhes, of towns and of counties, I have succeeded in trac-
ing many of the descendants of Israel"^ and Nathaniel^'^ whose
connection with their ancestors, we supposed, had been lost
beyond recovery. Many of the earlier generations would re-
ceive more notice, as they really deserved ; but I cannot repro-
duce the records which have been lost.
It might be interesting to some to know the authorities upon
which I have founded some of the statements which are con-
tained in this book, and the long and laborious processes by
which I have reached the conclusions found on these pages ;
but it would require much more space and labor to describe and
refer to all these authorities, and to explaiii all the evidences
which have led me to the conclusions that I joresent here. The
majority of readers, I presume, would not read all these par-
ticulars, or would not thank me for them, if they did.
PREFACE, 5
The introduction was prepared by Rev. N. S. Folsom, d. d.
(now of Lawrence, Mass.), for the article upon the "Folsom
Family " in The New England Historic- Genealogical Reg-
ister^ in April, 1S76, which was reprinted in a pamphlet. I
much regret that he has not been able to continue his valuable
assistance in the remainder of the work. In the body of this
work I make use of the materials collected by Dr. Folsom and
Judge Kelly so frequently that I do not often use quotation
marks when I copy their language.

INTRODUCTION.
BY REV. N. S. FOLSOM, D.D., LAWRENCE, MASS.
On the 26th of April, 163S, the ship ''Diligent, of Ipswich,"
Eng., of 350 tons burden, John Martin, master, set sail from
the mouth of the Thames for Massachusetts bay, having on
board nineteen families and six or eight single persons, — in all,
one hundred and thirty-three. Twelve of these families, num-
bering eighty-four souls, were from old Hingham — the rest
from the immediate vicinity ; and they had all embarked for
the purpose of joining a colony settled in Hingham, Mass.
(1633-37), consisting often families and five single persons (in
all, forty-nine), who had been their friends and neighbors in
old Hingham. Among those now emigrating were John Foul-
sham,* of Hingham, then twenty-three or twenty-four years of
* As to the original derivation of the name Foulsham, Hon. George
Folsom, in one of the MSS. left by him, says, — "It arose, upon the
adoption of surnames in England, from the town of Foulsham, a village
in the county of Norfolk, England [six or eight miles north of Hing-
ham], in which county the family was seated for many centuries, pos-
sessing estates in fifteen different places." Thus, John of Foulsham
became John Foulsham.
The orthography and pronunciation of the name have varied in the
family itself, as well as among others writing and pronouncing it._ The
first Anglo-American bearing the name spelt it " Foulsham." His son,
Dea. John, wrote it " FuUsom" in 1709; and it is signed " Foullsam "
in his last will — J715. In one instance, in the Hingham town records,
it is spelt " Fulsham," but always afterward " Foulsham." In the Exe-
ter records it is uniformly written " Folsom" from the year 1659, '^^'■''^
one exception in i68r, when the town clerk wrote " Foulshame." In
the records ot the first parish, Haverhill, Mass.,— 1749-64, —it is spelt
" Foulsham," " Foulsam," " Folsham,*' and " Fulsom," on occasion of
the baptism of children of '-Josiah Foulsham." Originally it was doubt-
less spelt " Foulshame," its etymological significance being the/^w/'j
home, or breeding-place or mart. The old syllabic division must have

age, and his young wife, to whom he had been married about a
year and a half. They were attended by two servants. His
wife's father and mother (Edward and Mary Clark Gihnan, of
Hingham), three younger brothers (Edward, not quite twenty-
one years old, John, and Moses), two younger sisters (Sarah,
and Lydia who married Daniel Gushing — 1645), and three
servants of the family, were fellow-passengers. The rector of
the parish, Rev. Robert Peck, with his family, consisting of
wife, two children, and two servants, also formed part of the
company. The immediate occasion of their departure seems to
have been trouble in ecclesiastical matters. Their rector, doubt-
less with the sympathy and aid of most of those constituting the
emigrating party, had pulled down the rails of chancel and
been Fouls-hame, the final syllable becoming shortened into "ham,"
with the first letter silent, pronounced like 21711, as may now often be
noticed in words of that termination. A further shortening appears in
1504, — how extensively practised is uncertain, — in a Latin inscription
on a monumental stone in the floor of the church of Repps, Norfolk
county, which, translated, is, " Pray for the soul of Mr. Thomas Fol-
sham, Baccalaureate of the Chapel." (Hist, of Norfolk Co., vol. xi, p.
182.) This last mode of spelling appears on modern maps of England,
designating the town ; but everywhere it is now written Folsoj/i by those
bearing the name.
In regard to the pronunciation of this word, it is now generally pro-
nounced by the family quite like w/iolesojne. The writer has never
known but one exception. And we suggest that this is a preservation
of the old way of pronouncing the name : that in the first syllable,
" Fouls," the diphthong " ou " was sounded as in " souls," " poultry,"
&c. Certain it is that this old spelling — fouls (or foules) — of our mod-
ern word " fowls " occurs in Chaucer, as in his " House of Fame," and
in his " Legend of Nine Good Women," —
"As this foule, when hit, beheld."
" I hear the foules sing."
Our suggestion is, moreover, fully borne out by similar phenomena of
pronunciation in modern times. We hear " bowling-alley" (once writ-
ten bouling-aWty, and the sphere or ball, boule) pronounced in two
ways, with the first syllable like " ow " in howl and in the drinking-ves-
sel bowl. "Johnson, Elphinstone, and Perry declare for the former, —
i. e., as in horvl \ Sheridan, Scott, Rennell, and Smith pronounce it
\\V& hole. Garrick corrected Walker for pronouncing it like 'howl.'"
(Early English Pronun., vol. i. p. 152.) Even the pronunciation of
the word, when written as Dea. John Folsom wrote it, " Fullsom," has
authority in the old pronunciation of the word "Cowper" like that of
wound, a hurt, as now heard, with the on as in "group," or, possibly,
nearer the sound of 0-00, the sound of the ow in " Cowper," as in howl,
being " given it only by those who do not know the family."

altar, and levelled the latter a foot below the church, as it
remains to this day. Being prosecuted by Bishop Wren, he
left the kingdom, together with his friends, who sold their es-
tates at half their real value, promising to remain with them
always.
The party having landed at Boston. Mass.. August lo. 163S,
immediately proceeded to their place of destination, about four-
teen miles south-east from Boston. An Adam Foulsham. prob-
ably a son of the Adam who died in 1627. and a cousin, if not
brother, of John P'oulsham, came from Hingham, Eng.. to
Hingham, Mass.. in 1639. but returned to England and died —
1670. Their rector remained about three years, when, hearing
that the bishops were deposed, he returned to England in 1641*
(the date given by Daniel Gushing), resumed his rectorv, and
died in 1656. Edward Oilman had with others obtained a grant
of land eight miles square in a place now called Rehoboth, near
the Rhode Island line, in 1641. In 1647 ^^^^ name is recorded
in Ipswich. Soon afterward he went to Exeter, N. H., where
his sons were already established in business. John Folsom
and wife, with their children, followed her father and mother to
Exeter, probably not earlier than 1650, the first authentic rec-
ord of their residence in that town being in the year 16^5.
During the twelve or fifteen years' residence of John Foul-
sham in Hingham, Mass., he was not without tokens of the
good-will of the people. He received, in 1638, a grant of land,
and soon built himself a house. It is quoted from Daniel Cush-
ing's records in Sprague's Genealogy," Appendix, p. 50, that
" There was given him by the Town four acres of Land butting
upon the Playne eastward and upon the Gommon westward ; "
and the author of the Genealogy mentions that " The house stand-
ing upon this lot [182SJ was built by Foulsham before Daniel
Gushing was Town-clerk [1669] — the frame is of sawed oak-
timber. My grandfather," the author adds, "bought it in
1744 of Daniel Beal — my father left it in 1800; the Spragues
own it at present." This house was taken down in 1S75. and
* In Mr. Blomefield's " County of Norfolk," vol. 2. p. 425. it is stated
that he " came back to Hingham in the year 1646, after ten years' vol-
untary banishment."

some of its sawed oak manufactured into memorial chairs.
Another record is quoted of the 30th of January, 1645, that
"The seven or nine men chosen to order the prudential affairs
of the town shall be chosen out of the body of the To~u;n, as
well non-Freemen as Freemen ; " and the seven chosen were
"Thomas Josselvn. George Marsh, Thomas Gill, John Tower,
John Smith, John Foulsham, William Sprague." And, again :
"It is ordered & agreed upon by the town that Capt. Joshua
Hubbard and John Foulsham shall have libei'ty of the two riv-
ers. Rocky Meadow & Bound Brook Rivers, so far as the town
hath property, to build & maintain a saw-mill or mills."
It is related in the Exetei' News genealogy, that in 1645 there
arose some "troublesome business," as Gov. Winthrop calls it,
in reference to himself personally, — a man named Emes, who
had been lieutenant of Hingham, having been appointed cap-
tain by the government, but rejected by the people, who elected
Allen in his stead. Winthrop, then lieutenant-governor, insist-
ed that Emes should be obeyed as commanding officer. The
people insisted upon having Allen for their captain, and,
"speaking evil of dignities," asked, "'What have magistrates
to do with us?" protesting, also, that they would die at the
sword's point if they might not have the choice of their own
officers. The result was a requisition on some of the leaders
to give security for appearance at court, and on their refusal, a
commitment to prison. In turn, the friends of the imprisoned
arraigned Winthrop for assumption of power and illegal impi^is-
onment. The affair terminated in the acquittal of the deputy
governor; and a fine of £155^ was imposed on about ninety
persons, iEzo of which John Foulsham was sentenced to pay.
By some means he was finally exeinjDted, for his name does not
appear among the censured and fined. ,
After his removal to Exeter, the name of " Goodman Fol-
som" appears in 1659 on the list of " selectmen." He obtained
a grant of land in 1660. His sons also all obtained similar
grants in years following. He was a juryman in 1663. In July,
1665, being one of a committee representing Dover, Portsmouth,
Exeter, and Hampton, to consult on certain political grievances,
he presented "a petition to the King's Majesty," for considera-
tion by the committee, praying that they " might be governed
INTRODUCTION, 1 1
by the laws of England." and expressing " joy that the Kino-
had sent over Commissioners into these parts," and '^sorrow-
that the Commissioners were evilly entertained by the Bay Gov-
ernment." Connected with this, and showing further action in
the matter, it is recorded m Vol. I of the Provincial Papers of
New Hamps/iire, p. 280, without date, but about 1665, that
"testimonies of selectmen are made that John Foulsham, Sen.,
and three others, Abraham Corbitt. Robert Burnham and Ed-
ward Hilton, are principal actors in trying to procure hands to
be taken oft' [/. e., to sign oft"] from the Bay Government." In
1676 he and his brother-in-law, Moses Gilman, disagreed about
their boundary lines, and the latter, in a passion, pulled up a
parcel of fence that stood between their lands. '■•John Sen'r."
instantly entered his complaint. The case was '• respited" a
few days at tiie recjuest of Moses. Intercession on the part of
mutual friends, •' persuading to peace, meantime proved fruit-
less." John felt that an insult and a wrong had been commit-
ted, and he pressed the trial. The decision was slightly evasive
of the question of real line of boundary ; but so for as it went, it
was against Moses, who was required to bear the cost of com-
plaint (16 shillings), and where, by pulling down the fence, he
had made gaps and exposed his neighbor's crops to injury, he
must put it up and keep it up •• until after next Indian harvest,"
when, of course, the matter in dispute might be opened again,
and a more intelligent decision be given. Mr. Commissioner
Dalton, however, ''does advise to peace and love in the mean
time, as their relation and duty requireth."
From focts like these, the descendants of the Anglo-American
John Folsom mav learn what were some of the traits of char-
acter in their ancestor. He was enterprising, courageous, prom-
inent in the communities in which he li\ed. a leader in public
affairs, determined on simplicity in religious worship and equity
in the state. — a solid, independent, righteous, and true man.
The earliest period in which the name appears in history is
the first half of the fourteenth century. There was a John Foul-
sham, of Foulsham. prior of a Carmelite monastery in Norwich,
and "praeses provincialis" of all England. In all probability
he belonged to a familv of which the Folsoms are lineal descend-
ants. He was D. D. of Cambridge, and, according to Pitt, is

spoken of in John Bayle's "Catalogue of Eminent Writers" (p,
421) as follows: "After an acquaintance with Aristotle's meth-
ods, and lia\ing <^ot a smattering of the original scriptures [gus-
tatis scripturarum corticibus], he became no mean proficient in
controversial theology, knowing how, by means of syllogistic
tricks, to turn white into black and men into donkeys." He died
in the great plague at Norwich, in 1348. Richard Foulsham,
also of Foulsham, and probably the prior's brother, was much
in the court of John XXII at Rome (1316-34), with whom he
corresponded, and some of his letters to whom were published.*
* There is in existence in the Norfolk (formerly part of Essex county,
and part of the Province of New Hampshire) records of deeds, book 2,
leaf 291, a copy of a deed given by the first John Folsom, for the two
following paragraphs from which we are indebted to the kindness of the
family of the late Mr. Charles Folsom :
"John Ffulsham of Exiter [N. H.] in respect of y' paternall love and
affeccon and fatherly care and good will of my trustie and well beloved
sone Peter Ffulsham of Exiter afores'd and for ye future good and ben-
efit of him and his posterity," gives him
"40 or 50 acres of land in Hingham in y'^ county of Norfolk [Eng.]
near Norrald Comon and formerly cald by y'' name of Ffulsham at y^
Boxbushes; — bounded W. w"' Norrald Comon, E. with great Lang-
hames and little Langhams, N. with Hardingham Comon. S. E. with
land of John Buck formerly and Edward Ffiower formerly." "10 April,
1673."
In possession of the same family is a fac-simile of an autograph of
John Folsom, penned the year he died, and showing another way of
spelling the name, as follows: "John FouUsam, 1681."
The definite location of the " land in Hingham " is worthy of notice.
It may assist in gaining a correct conception of it to consider that " Hing-
ham was once the head town of a deanery, and contained 43 parishes."
"Ffulsham" seems to have been one of these outlying parishes; and
the deed proves that the first John Folsom had land there as well as in
" Hackford-by-Hingham," as the latter place was sometimes called by
way of distinction. The appellation "Ffulsham at the Box-bushes " sug-
gests a site where the box-shrub abounded, and was planted as an orna-
ment of garden and lawn, perhaps an ancient home of his ancestors, —
the buildings long gone, — -one of the freeholds gained by purchase or
gift in the parishes in which the manors of the noblemen were a moiety
only. The DeMarshalls and Morleys had " manors in Folesham " from
1202 to 1580. The DePoinings had "fees" there in 1324. (See, for
these various statements, " Blomefield's County of Norfolk," vol. 2.)
It was also an " advowson " (/. e., with right attached of appointing to
a church-living), a "demesne" (the nobleman's tenants being exempt
from tolls and taxes), &c. ; and the names of the bordering parishes of
Hardingham, Langham, and Norrald (Northwold, where it is stated
that the " site of a manor" had become " a pasture-close "), can be all
identified. Perhaps the land had been kept so long because of the dear
INTRODUCTION.

The first traceable ancestor of John Foulsham is (i) Roger
Foulsham, of Necton, county of Norfolk. Eng., whose will is
dated 1534. (2) William, his son, married Agnes Smith,
alias Foulsham, of Besthorpe. and was father of (3) Adam, of
Besthorpe, who married Emma , and whose will is dated
1565. He owned lands in Besthorpe, Wymondham (Wind-
ham) , Bunwell, Hingham, and Hackford. (4) Adam, his son,
was baptized in 1560 ; married Grace : had a home in
Hingham and lands in Besthorpe. He died in 1630. (5)
Adam, of Hingham, son of the latter, married Agnes . and
died in 1627. The facts in the preceding paragraph, and thus
far in the present, are given on the authority of the MSS. of
Hon. George Folsom, who visited England and explored every
possible source of information. He next states that "'Adam,"
the fourth in descent from •'■Roger." left a son named ""John,"
— /. e., the first Anglo-American John Foulsham. From this
first Anglo-American John Folsom. of Exeter. N. H.. and his
wife, Mary Gilman Folsom, are descended, so far as we know,
all the Folsoms in America, with the exception of one familv,
with which is connected a story curious enough to be given in
a note below.*
associations connected with it. He remembered the fragrance and
greenness of its shrubbery; and now, eight years before his death, he
will not alienate the ancestral possession from this family, but bestows
it on one of his sons. The father's tribute to the good qualities of the
son supplies valuable testimony of character, in the absence of any
other record.
* Mr. Abraham Folsom, of Boston, has related to the writer the fol-
lowing: That his younger brother, James Madison Folsom, who went
to Savannah, Ga., in 1829, and died before the Rebellion, had two
sons, — Dr. Robert W., who fell in the battle of the Wilderness, the
colonel of his regiment, and James M , a young lawyer, and colonel on
the staff of Gov. Brown. As Col. James was passing with a Georgia
regiment through Sumter, S. C., a crowd of gentlemen and ladies had
gathered at the depot to greet them, the ladies throwing bouquets to the
officers and soldiers. Col. James caught one, and on his departure
found in it a slip of paper, on which was written the name "Rosa
Folsom.'' His curiosity being greatly excited, he wrote to know about
the family, and received the following reply from the young lady's
father: "We are descended from one who espoused the cause of liber-
ty under Crom^Nell, but who died during the Protectorate. At the
Restoration his estates were confiscated ; and soon afterwards the sons
embarked for America, and landed at Albemarle Sound [this must have
14 INTRODUCTION.
[There has been a tradition that the father of the Folsom fam-
ily was, in England, yohn Smith, and that his name was changed
(huing the voyage to America. I find little ground for this
opinion. John Foulsham, son of Adam, was baptized in Hing-
ham, Eng., in i6i'^. In 1627, Adam Folsham, alias Smith,
made his will, naming three sons, — John. Adam, and Peter.
John Foulsham married, in Hingham. Eng., October 4, 1636,
Mary, daughter of Edward Oilman, who was baptized August
6, 1615. In 163S they came to Hingham, Mass., and in 1639
Adam Foulsham followed them. If the family name was ever
Smith, it seems it must have been changed before the birth and
baptism of John Foulsham, the emigrant to Hingham, Mass.
In 1842, "The History and Antiquities of Foulsham, in Nor-
folk," by Rev. Thomas Quarles, m. a., was printed in London.
He gives but little information respecting the Foulsham family,
as they seem to have settled in Hingham and vicinity at least
four hundred years ago. He quotes from "Blomefield's History
of Norfolk" the statement that "John deFoulsham was an elo-
quent, unflinching opponent of the corruptions of the times."
In a "Treatise De Matrimonio" he zealously defends the mai"-
riage of priests, in an age so debased that such a doctrine was-
totally at variance with the teachings of the Roman church.
Another of his works was " De Arte Praedicandi," or, " The
Art of Preaching." " In this he strenuously urged the utility
and necessity of public preaching," which was little practised
in that age. He is reported to have been himself a model of
pulpit eloquence. — J. C]
[John Folsham^ sold his land in Hingham, Mass., about 1655,.
and removed with his family to Exeter, N. H. He lived on the
west side of the river, where the first settlements in Exeter were
made ; but three of his sons lived in the east part of the town.
His sons and grandsons owned much land upon what was called
"Rocky hill." He was engaged as a surveyor in running the
been, if at all, at the settlement of the second colony at that place —
1667]. Two of the brothers married in America. Shortly after they
simplified their name by spelling it 'Folsom.'" Col. James M. is the
author of the " Heroes of Georeia."

lines between Exeter and Dover, and while in this business dis-
covered a meadow, some eight or ten miles north-west of the
village, which was supposed to be of much value on account of
the hay which could be made on it.
Some of his children, when old enough to leave home, return-
ed, probably to their relatives in Massachusetts, and married
there ; but all eventually settled near their father in Exeter.
In advanced life he became unfortunately involved in his
pecuniary affairs, but was fortunate in having sons able and
willing to afford him the aid he needed to retain a home for
himself and his aged companion, who lived about ten 3ears
after his death, in 16S1.
Judging him in the light of the period when he lived, we
must consider him a very intelligent, earnest, enterprising man.
He may have been sometimes more enthusiastic than judicious,
and so have been found in advance of his age ; but he was a
decided Christian, ready to sacrifice wealth, ease, and popular-
ity for the sake of principle ; — and he successfully trained up
six sons to become efficient laborers in laying the foundations
of the commonwealth of New Hampshire. — ^J. C]
EXPLANATIONS.
The dates before 1752 are in old style, and therefore, when
from January 1 to March 35 I find double date, — e. g.^ Feb-
ruary 15, 1725-6, — I use the last figure to indicate the histor-
ical year, in preference to the civil and ecclesiastical year which
began March 35.
The order in which I name the children is not always the
order of their births. The birth dates cannot always be found.
In giving the birthplace of a family often children, the name is
not repeated ten times, but only in connection with the first
bo)'7l.
As most of the family remained in New Hampshire for one
hundred and fifty years from their settlement here, the name of
this state is not often given in connection with the towns in it.
Towns in other states are usually attended with the names of
the states. The full-faced figures in parentheses on the left side
of the page show the order in which the same name is found as
the head of a famil}'.
The small figure at the right of a name denotes the genera-
tion of the person, dating from the emigrant, John-^.
Abbreviations. Abt., about; b., born; bapt., baptized;
ch., child or children; d., died; m., married; unm., unmar-
ried.
The children of the families are numbered by the Roman
capitals., as I, II, III.
T\\& grandchildren by Arabic figures., as i, 2, 3.
T\'\& great-grandchildren by figures, as ^) , -) , ^).
A passage followed by an interrogation point ( .^) enclosed in
brackets [ ] indicates that the words included are doiibtful.
In spellings I usually follow the briefest and latest form.
The name of the family is spelled in some eight or ten differ-
ent ways, the same person spelling his name difterently at dif-
ferent periods of his life.

Mary (dau. of Judge Henry) Robie, of Hampton, and d. in
1700. We suppose he was b. in 1638 or 1639. There is a tra-
dition that one son was b. on the ocean during the voyage. If
so, probably he was the one. He was a " hu.sbandman," and
engaged less in public affairs than his father and some of his
brothers. He was probably not so successful in pecuniary mat-
ters as some of his younger brothers. He dealt some in lumber,
and in 1667 promised a large quantity to Mr. Cutts, of
Portsmouth. Being paid in advance, he mortgaged his land to
secure the delivery of it. In Jan., 1692. he was appointed ad-
ministrator upon the estate of "John & Mary Folsom both de-
ceased." In the performance of this business, he provoked his
brother, Dea. John, who in his passion, by violent language,
exposed himself to prosecution for a violation of the law ; but

He is called in the records Deacofz John, to distinguish him
from his son, his nephews, and his grandsons named John. He
m., 10 Nov., 1675, Abigail (dau. of Abraham) Perkins, of
Hampton ; made his will 24 Nov., 17151 ^"d d. before Dec. 6,
1715, aged about 75. A copy of his will is contained in the
Appendix, Note A.
Dea. John Folsotn^ was a man of high standing and good
property, active both in church and in political aflairs. He is
amonsf the worthies of the first centuries of Exeter, of whom
Judge Smith, in his centennial address, July 4, 1S3S, says that
"they filled acceptably the municipal and public offices con-
ferred upon them." He was frequently sent to the general as-
sembly.
In the first volume of " Provincial Papers," already quoted
with reference to his father, there is a deposition (pp. 554"~7)
from the son, as constable, bearing date 16S4, "that he had re-
ceived a list of names in Exeter, with fines annexed, amounting
to "^o^ ; that he was required by the Governor & covnicil to go
& demand the sum ; but the people refused to pay, saying the
taxes should be raised by the General Assembly, which answer
he gave to Gov. & council : whereupon they took the scroll out
of his hands & delivered it to Thos. Thurton. provost marshall,
& he was ordered by a warrant from the Secretary to aid the
said Thurton."
This summary treatment was honorable to him from such a
government as that of Cranfield's, and shows how " acceptably,"
at least to the people if not to the party in power, he filled that
special office of constable by forbearing to push the demand for
* Samuel was doubtless the eldest, for his name stands first on the
record, and he m. some 12 years before John, and d. 15 years before
him. The office of administrator on his father's estate was given him,
in accordance with the custom, which was to offer it to the widow or
oldest son before any others of the family.

oppressive and unconstitutional taxes and fines. The following
quotation from the same portion of the "Provincial Papers"
will show the sort of "aid" he gave to the provost marshal, and
that he could turn with wrath and contempt on the public foes,
deacon though he was. Under date of December 29. 1684,
there is a deposition of this Thurton, that "being sent to collect
those fines, and one of 50 shillings on John Foulsham for neg-
lecting the duty of his office as constable, Foulsham told him
that if he came to levy execution at his house, he should meet
him with a red-hot spit and scalding water ; and bade him go,
like a rogue as he was." The women of the Oilman family
must also have some of the fame of this affair ; for the provost
marshal adds, that "being at the house of Edward Gilman [son
of the first Edward, and lost at sea abt. 1653] the wife of James
Gilman [grandson of the first Edward, b. 1659] ^old him she
had provided a kettle of scalding water for him. if he should
come." He thought it rather rough treatment, especially as no
money had yet been demanded of them. In one instance, in
which Dea. John's wife had been slandered by his sister-in-law
Hannah, wife of his brother Nathaniel, he was determined the
offender should smart for it ; and accordingly, making com-
plaint before Mr. Commissioner Dalton, he obtained sentence
against her that she should " make acknowledgment at some
public town-meeting."
(4.) III. Nathaniel^, bapt. 2 June, 1644, m. (i), June 9,
1674, Hannah (dau. of John) Farrow, of Ipswich, Mass.
Her name has been written "Faxon," but it is evidently a mis-
take. In 1677 he took the oath of allegiance, and was admitted
a citizen of Exeter ; had a son Safmiel^ b. in Exeter, iS April,
1679, who seems to have been taxed liere in 1714. after which
his name disappears.
It has been difficult to obtain much more satisfactory infor-
mation about the family of Nathaniel'^, except that in 1796 he
had a second wife, Mary, who signed with him a deed of land
in Exeter. He was living in 1714, but in 1725 his widow,
Mary, was taxed. I suppose he had, by both the first and the
second wife, a large family. Under the Family No. 4 I shall
give the names of some who were probably his children.

teacher of mathematics, in the 74-gun ship, Washington. In
1817, he was Charge d'Affaires at Tunis, where lie re-
mained till 1 81 9. One of the lads under his instruction went
with him to Tunis, and continued his studies. Nearly 50 years
afterward, a naval officer of renown visited Boston, and, after
the public honors of reception, visited Mr. Folsom in Cam-
bridge. It was Vice-Admiral Farragut, who in the defence of
his country had risen to national fame, and now returned to
express his gratitude to his early instructor for the training
which fitted him for the work he had done for his country in
her time of need. When the Admiral left New England he
sent to his aged teacher, as a memento of his affection and
regard, a magnificent vase, engraved from sketches drawn by
his own hand. He was some time librarian at Harvard col-
lege, and from 1845 to 1856 librarian of the Boston Atheneum.
He died in Cambridge, Mass., 8 Nov., 1872, leaving "the
most fragrant of the memories still blooming from the dust."
Of him it was said, "His kindness was warm, constant, and
unselfish. No one ever knew him to refuse what it was in his
power to grant, or to think first of himself, when the question
was whether he should benefit himself or another."

About 100 years after the settlement of the Folsom family in

became more numerous in Maine than in any other state.
One who knows many of them says, — "As a whole this branch
of the family have been good citizens and honest men (some
not quite up to par) . They have done their share to make
the state, and have served the state in its legislature, in military
affairs, and as officers of towns and cities. They have by
honest industry secured a fair share of this world's goods."

served as lieutenant under Gen. Worth, in the war asrainst the
Seminoles in Florida, and conducted a bodv of Indians to
their new home in the West. After serving in various places
in the North-west, he was in 1S44 oi'dered to the military acad-
emy at West Point, as instructor. In 1S46 he was sent under
Col. Stevenson to California, as Qiiartermaster of the ist Regi-
ment N. Y. Vols. He landed in the spring of 1S47, ''^"^ '"
selecting a site for the army stores, he chose the village Verba
Buena, soon called San Francisco. Here he invested his funds,
and engaged with deep interest in the improvement of the
place. The discovery of gold aided in the rapid development
of the new city, and in a few years it is said his fortune had
risen to eleven millions, and a magnificent street was called by
his name. Amidst all the cares and toils of his civil and mili-
tary life, he continued his interest in literarv pursuits, and
remained the same quiet, gentlemanly companion. He was
cut down in the prime of life, and if his surviving relatives
reaped no benefit from his immense fortune, he left them the
reputation of an honest man, whose pure life and firm integrity
have established a character beyond reproach.

THE INDIAN MASSACRE AT NOTTINGHAM.
[From the Exeter News-Letter .'\
Exeter, Jan. i, 1881.
Editor Exeter News-Letter : — In collecting material for
the genealogy of the Folsom family, I recently received from a
friend, Thomas Folsom, of West Epping, an account of the
murder by Indians of Nathaniel Folsom, Robert Beard, and
Elizabeth, wife of Andrew Simpson, in Nottingham, as it has
been preserved by tradition among the descendants of Folsom,
which I think ought to be preserved, but has never, to my
knowledge, been printed. Mr. D. L. Harvey, who wrote the
following account, received it from the grandchildren of Fol-
som, Paul Ladd and his sister Susan, both of whom have been
dead for many j^ears. Nathaniel Folsom is supposed to have
been the son of Nathaniel, and grandson of John the emigrant,
who came in 1638 from Hingham, in England, with his father-
in-law, Edward Gilman, and his sons, and settled in Hingham,
16
242 FOLSOM GENEALOGY.
Mass. Soon after 1650 they came to Exeter. Nathaniel, the
third son of the first John, was born in Hingham, Mass., in
1644, and married there, June 9, 1674, Hannah Farrow. He
had a son Samuel, born in Exeter, April 18, 1679 ; and it is
pi'obable his son Nathaniel was born in 1676. He is supposed
to have had younger sons, — Jerame, Nathaniel, and Edward, — •
and perhaps a daughter, Miriam, who in 1734 married Joseph
Bean, Sr., of Kingston, and had eight ciiildren. She died
March 24, 1752. The Nathaniel Folsom who was killed in
September, 1742, was about 66 years of age at the time of his
death. He lived in that part of Exeter which is now called
Brentwood. I will give the account of this massacre substan-
tially in the words of Mr. Harvey.
Dui'ing the war of i744i with the French and Indians,
Nottingham was one of the frontier towns, and for sev-
eral years the settlers in these towns were kept in a state
of constant alarm. Many of the inhabitants returned to
the older settlements from which they had come, and the
few who remained to till the fields and secure the crops
that grew in them were compelled to seek shelter in gar-
rison houses nights, and often days, when the enemy were
near. There was no safety for man or beast when exposed to
the attacks of the cruel savages. There was a garrison at Not-
tingham Square, an elevated spot, from which the smokes and
fires of the Indian camps could be seen at a great distance.
Soldiers were drafted from the older towns to guard the inhab-
itants of the frontiers. If these people were murdered, the
towns joining them would be entirel}- exposed to inroads of the
savages. A draft was made in Exeter to protect the settlers of
Nottingham, each quota of soldiers to serve two weeks, and
then be relieved by another quota. A young unmarried neigh-
bor to Folsom was drafted, but the girl to whom he was
engaged made such a distressing lamentation over it that Fol-
som volunteered to take his place, and, with the others, served
out his time. His fellow-soldiers left, without waiting for the
new recruits to come and take their places. But Folsom was
satisfied that the Indians were about them, for the clothes
which the women had spread on the walls of the garrison were
cut in the night by tomahawks ; and Beard entreated him to
APPENDIX. 243
Stop, saying, "I shall be killed if you go away." vSo he
remained ; and Beard went out to his home (on Fish street,
opposite to Rodger's Lane, Nottingham) to cut the tops of hi&
corn-stalks, and Folsom, with his gun, went to guard him--
At noon they broke some ears of green corn, and \vent to the
house to cook it for dinner. Folsom brought from a spring a
pail of water to boil it in, and put down tw"o ears to roast
while the rest was boiling. When thev had begun to eat
their corn the dog growled, and Folsom caught his gun and
ran to the door. The Indians instantly shot him, and he fell
back into a ladder standing behind him, dead. It seems the
ball struck near his heart, for the belt \^ hich he wore was long
preserved in the family, and shown with the bullet-hole in it.
At the same time thev shot JVIr. Robert Beard through the
window. They then went to the house of Mrs. Simpson,
having doubtless discovered that she had left the garrison and
gone home, where she was about to bake some bread. One
named Plasawa (or Plausawa), being the youngest, went into
the house and stabbed her in the breast. He said "She blared
like a calf." The other two went in and asked her if she could
walk (intending, perhaps, to take her a captive to Canada).
She said No ; so they killed her on the spot and left the place.
Some years afterw^ards three Indians, named Sunda, Sabatis.
and Plasawa, when intoxicated, told Morrill, the son-in-law of
Folsom. that at this time they had been some time in the vicin-
ity ; that they had lain three days under a pile of boards in
Exeter, and prowled about in the nights ; that their object was
to see if the whites were off their guard. They said thev did
not know as they killed the old, grey-bearded man ; but if they
did they had killed a bonny spry one, for he jumped over the
bars with a pail of water in his hand, and did not spill a drop.
They said they did not mean to kill Mrs. Simpson, but to
carry her to Canada, hoping, doubtless, to get a large sum for
her redemption ; but Plasawa had never been out scouting
before, and he went in and stabbed her. As she could not
travel after receiving such a wound, they finished their work
by striking their tomahawks into her head and taking her life.
Mrs. Simpson was a large woman, and also lame, so that she
could not make a long journey through the forest on foot. The
244 FOLSOM GENEALOGY.
bodies of these persons, — Folsom, Beard, and Mrs. Simpson, —
were buried, as I was informed by Col. Joseph Cilley, at Not-
tingham Square, in a spot back of where the garrison tlien
stood, north of J. H. Butler's house. An account by Mr.
Harvey of the death of the two older Indians, by violence,
may be the subject of a future communication.

Exeter, March i, iSSi.
Editor Exeter News-Letter : — There are, as we should
expect, when we consider the circumstances, different accounts
of this event. There was no reporter on the ground, and we
could not expect the men who did the deeds would put the facts
on record and publish them. By so doing they would not only
expose themselves to the vengeance of the Indians, but to pun-
ishment by the laws of the land. The children of the murdered
persons would desire the punishment of the murderers. If their
neighbors had knowledge of the transaction, there were many
reasons why they would not publish the facts. The tradition
which I have I'eceived from Mr. D. L. Harvey of Epping, he
received from the nephew and niece of Morril, a son-in-law of
Folsom, who seems to have been the most prominent man in
taking the lives of these Indians. Henry MotTil married, in
Kingston, Jan. 30, 1739, Susanna, daughter of Nathaniel Fol-
som, of Exeter. They joined the church there, and had five
children baptized between 1742 and 1752. In 1749 he was one
of the proprietors of Stevens town, called Salisbury in 1768.
Those Indians who had killed and plundered the early settlei's
in Nottingham could not he contented, but continued to hover
about the frontiers. In 1752, some years after the murder of
Folsom and his friends, Sabatis, with another Indian named
Christi, came to Canterbury, and for more than a month were
hospitably entertained. Still, when they left, they took with
them as prisoners two negroes, of whom one escaped and the
other was sold to a French officer at Crown Point. The next
APPENDIX. 245
year Sabatis returned again, with two associates, Sanda and
Plausawa. When reproached for his misconduct on the year
before they became very insolent, and, it is said, threatened
some persons who proposed to trade with them. But I will
proceed to Mr. Harvey's account. Some men from Newbury,
Mass., went up on the Merrimack river hunting cattle. On
their return they informed Morril where these Indians were,
and how hostile the}^ appeared. He said he would go up and
see them. They advised him not to go, but he said he was not
afraid of them. [He probably knew them, and had his plan to
control them.] So he went up, on horseback, and when he had
found them he proposed that they go with him and spend the
night at his house. They accepted the invitation, and he took
their packs on his horse. That evening they were supplied
with liquor at his house, and with a man named Bowen, as
fond of drink as themselves, they spent most of the night in a
drunken carousal. They bragged of killing Folsom, Beard,
and Mrs. Simpson, probably unaware of any relationship be-
tween them and the family that was now entertaining them.
At length they were overcome by liquor and fell asleep. Mor-
ril then drew the charges from their guns, and replaced the
powder with sand. In the morning, after eating their break-
fast, at their request Morril took their baggage on his horse
to carry it to their canoes. He happened to be before them,
when one of them aimed his gun at him and snapped it.
Morril heard it, and turning saw the smoke of the powder
that flashed in the pan. The Indian pretended that it was
only a joke. They came to a spring by the way, and the
Indians, after their drunkenness, were very dry. They said
to Bowen and Morril, "White men drink first." Morril an-
swered, " Indian best drink first," and all three lay down to
drink. Morril seized two of the tomahawks, and told Bowen
to strike one of them. Bowen said, " I cannot." Morril
said, " Strike, or I will strike you." They buried the toma-
hawks in the heads of Sanda and Sabatis, the two older Ind-
ians, but Plausawa, the youngest, begged so earnestly for his
life that they spared him. Of course he was obliged to flee for
his life to his people, and the white people may have thought
he was dead, and thus the report was recorded by different
246 FOLSOM GENEALOGY.
writers. This was done on the bank of the Merrimack, near
the northerl}^ hne of Boscawen. The dead bodies were buried
under a small bridge in Salisbury, which is called "■ Indian
bridge." The graves were so shallow that the wild beasts dug
up the bodies, and the next spring the bones were discovered
and buried. Morril and Bowen were arrested, the gi'and jury
found a bill against them, and they were put in irons and
lodged in Portsmouth jail. On the night previous to the day of
their trial, a mob, collected from the sections of the country that
had suffered from the Indians, broke open the jail, and released
these prisoners, or, as one says, "carried them oft' in triumph."
Exertions were made to detect the ringleaders of the mob, but
without success. The public sentiment of the community,
which had suftered so much from the bloodv hands of the sav-
ages, was in favor of the men who put them out of the way.
As the mob returned from Portsmouth, they found, by the road-
side, cooked provisions. Though no person was to be seen,
they read the invitation, " Eat and welcome." It was hard for
those who had suftei'ed so much from the Indians to believe that
the murder of peaceable men, women, and children was justi-
fied by the laws of war, and that the conclusion of peace be-
tween nations should protect individual murderers from punish-
ment for their crimes. So, when Plausawa returned to his old
haunts, he found his life in danger, and applied to the governor
for a pi-otection. The governor gave it to him, and, in addition,
a suit of clothes and a cocked hat. On his way home he hap-
pened to call, in Exeter or Brentwood, at the house of Folsom,
who had been killed only a few years before by Plausawa's
companions in Nottingham. Benjamin, the youngest son, was
soon missed, and when found was loading a gun to shoot the
Indian. But he was kept out of the way till Plausawa was sent
oft' beyond his reach. Mr. Harvey, who has furnished me with
these facts, is great-grandson of Folsom who was killed. His
grandmother was Martha Folsom, who, a few years after the
death of her father, married Paul Ladd, of Exeter, who re-
moved to Stratham, and soon after to Epping, where his
mother, Lois, wife of James Harvey, was born.

ROMANCE IX REAL LIFE.
The story of Miss Folsom, the Stratford beauty, who became
Ladv Stirling, of Edinburgh, Scotland, will perhaps lose little of
its interest if divested of some of the fictitious additions that
have in a hundred years become attached to it. Few are aware
that her grandfather, and probably her father, were natives of
Exeter. N. H. About 1723, or 160 years ago, Israel Folsom,
of Exeter, removed to Ashford, Ct., and had a son Samuel,
probably born in Exeter, baptized at Ashford. Samuel Fol-
som married Ann Bingham, and in 1743 or 1744 removed from
Windham to Stratford, Ct., where he and his wife united with
the Episcopal society, which was organized about that time.
He was a farmer, and had. like many other Yankees, some
skill in handling tools. On his land was a blacksmith-shop,
where he did his own work in iron, and perhaps sometimes did
a job for a neighbor. In his family record I find nine children
named, of whom the eighth was remarkable for her beautv, and
when quite young was called the belle of the village. On the
record her name is first Anna, and Glorianna is written after
it. With respect to the w^ay in which she became the wife of
Sir John Stirling, I ^vill allow her brother's granddaughter,
Mrs. E. F. Norris, of Glens Falls, N. Y., to tell the stor}"-
mostly in her own words. Mrs. Norris \vas bi'ought up in the
family of Rev. John Folsom, of Glens Falls, a younger brother
of Lady Stirling, who was well acquainted with all the circum-
stances connected with this marriage. It took place just before
the Revolutionary war, and so for many years she had but little
intercourse with her relations. About 1768 the only son of the
Baronet, Sir John Stirling, Scotland, was sent to one of the
West India Islands to look after some property belonging to
his mother. He was well supplied \vith clothing, etc. He
was to write home for money, if he should need it, putting a
private mark upon his letter. After a while he w\as taken very
sick of a fever. When he wrote he forgot about putting the
private mark upon his letters, and so received no answers to
248 FOLSOM GENEALOGY.
them, and was in a pitiable state among strangers, without
funds or good health. Providentially a sea-captain, from
Stratford, Ct., came to board at the same house where he was
staying. He took pity on him, and kindly offered to carry him
home, in his vessel, without any money. He told Stirling he
could write to his father from Connecticut. He gladly accepted
the offer, and sailed with him to a more healthful climate. Some
time after he left, a letter came from his father in Scotland to
some person in the town or near the place where he had been,
inquiring for his son, John Stirling. The answer returned
was, that he had been there, had been very sick, and they
could not learn what had become of him. They supposed he
must be dead.
When the young man had reached the home of his benefac-
tor, refreshed by the sea voyage, he did not " travel incognito,"
nor assume any other name. He had no money to expend in
travelling ; he had given up hope of receiving aid from home.
But he determined to make an honest living by the proper use
of what he had kept during the days of disappointment, pover-
ty, and sickness. The education he had received in Scotland
now became his means of support, for the people of Stratford
were glad to pay him for instructing their children. Among
the pupils under his care was Miss Folsom, who, though about
18 years of age, was more anxious to acquire an education than
to secure a husband. It is not known whether he wrote home
from this place or not, but he heard nothing from home. It is
not strange that under these circumstances, when he had be-
come acquainted with her moral character and intellectual
abilities, he should be captivated by her beauty, and find his
affection reciprocated. They were married in 177^' ^'^^ ^'^^
continued in his office as teacher. After the birth of their first
child, Mary, a young minister who, according to the custom of
the Episcopal church, was going to Scotland to be ordained,
having made the acquaintance of Stirling, offered to hunt vip his
father and family when he reached Scotland, and inquire why
they did not answer their son when he wrote to them. Stirling
seemed to think it was of no use. But the clergyman, having
become interested in him, insisted upon his giving him the
means of proving to them that he was their long lost son, still
APPENDIX. 249
living. He was furnished with a list of the supplies which
his parents had put up for him when lie left home, such as
clothing, etc., evidence to satisfy them of his identity.
His clerical friend sailed for Scotland. But he had deeply
stirred up the recollections of home in the mind of the quiet
teacher. He dreamed one night that he was again with his
parents, in the home of his childhood, and of that private
mark which he was to put upon every one of his letters, and
which he had forgotten. Wiien the young clergN'man reached
Scotland, he soon found the family. The mother and sister
were dressed in deep mourning. When he asked them if they
had a son who went to the West Indias, they commenced
weeping, and said he was dead. He at last convinced them
that their son was alive, telling them his circumstances. They
w^ere overioyed, and at once wrote for him to come home on the
first vessel, without waiting for his wife and child to get ready,
and in due time they would send for them. He did so. It is
very possible, and even probable, that the gossips, when he
took leave so suddenly, concluded that he must have been an
imposter, and lamented the sad condition of the deserted wife
and her little daughters, — for she had a second daughter, Jane,
born soon after the departure of her husband. But there is no
proof that she heard nothing from him for two years, as the
story savs. It mav have seemed a long period to the neigh-
bors, but, after he had had time to prepare a home for her, and
a large quantity of beautiful clothing was made up for his wife
and children, the ship left and arrived safely in New York.
She received the request to embark immediately. She left
Stratford with her children, and found in the vessel everything
which she needed, provided for their comfort and convenience,
and a servant maid to aid her in tlie care of the children. She
reached Scotland in due time, and her husband, as only son,
succeeded to the estate and the honors of the Baronet Stirling,
and she became Lady John Stirling. I have in my possession a
long letter from her husband to her brother, John Folsom,
Esq., merchant in Albany, and aftei-wards of Glens Falls, N.
Y., an elder and a preacher in the Presbyterian church; and
another written just after her death by her oldest daughter,
Mrs. Mary Achison. She was not only a beautiful woman, but
250 FOLSOM GENEALOGY.
a woman of remarkable energy of character. They lived for a
time near Stirling castle, and afterwards, by the request of his
father, in Edinburgh, near his father's residence. They had
eighteen children, of whom sixteen lived to be old enough to
attend the Parish church, at the same time with their parents,
one Sabbath. Though she only saw one of lier father's family,
a brother, after she left, she never forgot the happy davs of her
early life, and used to tell her daughters of the scenes through
which she had passed in childhood and youth, perhaps the hap-
piest days she ever knew, — for with wealth and honor came
many trials, which she endured with Christian patience and for-
titude.
[Note. We should remember that 120 years ago, the age of ro-
mance had not entirely past. The excitement was beginning, which
resulted in the separation of the colonies from the mother country. The
Post-Office Department hm] not perfected its arrangements for the ac-
commodation of letter-writers. After 1774, or the time when Stirling
returned to his native land, there was little harmonious intercourse be-
tween England and this part of America. Many events occurred in
those stormy times which in these days would be considered improba-
ble, if not impossible ; but few of them have been preserved in the
records of that period.]

Lieutenant Jonathan Folsom, brother of General Nathaniel
Folsom, of Exeter, though not so widely known as his brother,
was not less brave or patriotic. He v^-as born in Exeter in 1 724,
and married (i) a Oilman, (2) Deborah, daughter of Joseph
Hall. He lived in Newmarket and in Epping, and had a large
family. Late in life he made his home in New Durham, with his
eldest son, Jonathan, where he died about iSoo. In 1745, at the
age of 21, he was lieutenant in Captain Somersby Oilman's com-
panv, which fought under Sir William Fepperel. at the first
capture of Louisburg. Ten years later, in 1755, he was in the
expedition to Lake Oeorge against Crown Point, where many

of his fellow-soldiers fell in battle, and where his brother, then
captain, acquired much honor by his bold and successful attack
upon the French and Indians. At this battle he received a
dangerous bullet wound through his shoulder under the collar-
bone, the scars of which he carried throug-h life. HavinsT
fought so often and exposed his life in defence of the English
government, he would naturally feel reluctant to engage in
opposition to it. So when the Stamp Act was repealed, in
1766, and there was a prospect of peace, there was much
rejoicing. At the celebration, May 19, 1766, he lost one leg by
the bursting of a cannon. It is said to have been an old swivel
which had been buried nearly twenty years, which the enthusi-
astic citizens in the excitement of the occasion had dug up and
had brought into use, without the precaution of testing its
strength. One would suppose that under these circumstances
it was time for him to retire. But when the Revolutionary
war commenced, he set out for another campaign, and found
his way to Bunker Hill. Here he hobbled into battle on his
wooden leg, and took charge of a mortar It is said that at the
second shot he threw a bomb upon the deck of a British man-
of-war, which led her to draw oft' as soon as possible into safer
quarters. His posterity have become numerous and Vv'idely
scattered, many of them in the West. His son, Jonathan, was
many years town-clerk in New Durham. Among his descend-
ants are Captain Hawley Folsom, of the Boston police. Dr.
James Folsom, Commercial street, Boston, Thomas J. Pink-
ham, Esq., Lynn, Mass., W. F. Durgin, Medford, Mass.

GEN. NATHANIEL FOLSOM, OF EXETER.
Of the many prominent and useful men that Exeter produced
in the first two centuries after its settlement, few, if any, are
more worthy of a place in the history of the town than General
Nathaniel Folsom.
His father was Jonathan Folsom, a farmer in the east part
252 FOLSOM GENEALOGY.
of the town, and his mother was Anna (daughter of Nathaniel)
Ladd. When he was 14 3-ears old his father died, leaving a
large family of children, some of them quite small. Nathaniel
learned a trade, and became a respectable mechanic, but was
early elected an officer in the militia. His services were soon
required in the expedition against Crown Point. In 1755 he
led his company from New Hampshire through the woods to
Albany, and thence to Fort Edward, where the New Hamp-
shire rangers were posted. On the Sth of September, at about
4 o'clock p. M., he met a large body of French and Indians
returning from their unsuccessful attack upon Fort George.
With eighty New England men and about forty New York sol-
diers, he attacked them, keeping up the battle till night, with
great loss to the enemy. In the report, it is said " they con-
tinued an obstinate engagement, with more than a thousand
men, about three hours, when night came on, and the French
and Indians went oft' and left all. They killed great numbers
of the enemv, and recovered 1,200 packs."
The engagement of the day, thus closed by Capt. Folsom, it
is said, " served more than anything else to revive the spirit of
the colonies."
In 1767 he was major, and soon after colonel. I know not
that the general ever claimed the honor, but a British officer,
commanding at Portsmouth, gave him the ci'edit of leading a
company of men who surprised the garrison at that place, and
took away from the fort the powder and the cannon without
shedding anv blood, or doing violence to any person.
The arms and ammunition taken at that time proved of great
value to the colonists, who were poorly prepared to meet the
advance of the British army.
He had for several vears been a member of the New Hamp-
shire house of representatives, and in Julv, 1774, was chosen
with General John Sullivan to the first general congress, which
met at Philadelphia.
Being a firm and ardent patriot, he served during the siege
of Boston as brigadier-general. In 1775 he was commissioned
major-general ; but in February, 177^' ^^^^ wife died, leaving a
large family of children, and he, being relieved by Gen. Sulli-
van, returned to Exeter. The same year he was appointed
APPENDIX. 253
judge of the court of common pleas, an office which he held
(being part of the time chief-justice) till his death in May,
1790.
In 1777 and 1779 he was again a member of congress. In a
letter to his friend, Hon. Meshech Weare, president of the
council of New Hampshire, he said, — " The Sth Article of the
Constitution gave him great uneasiness," as it gave the South
an exemption from taxation for their slaves, who constituted
one third of their wealth, and thus threw a larger burden upon
the free states than was equitable.
In 177S he was chosen councillor, and in 1783 was temporary-
president of the convention that framed the constitution of New
Hampshire.
General Folsom was not brilliant, but was quiet, firm, and
judicious — successful in business, leaving a large property to
his heirs. He was a patriot and a brave soldier, but he was
also " a Christian, and not swift in private battles." He was
active and useful at home, being highly respected by his neigh-
bors, and the community sustained a great loss at his death.
REMARKS.
There have been many others who have deserved more ex-
tensive notice than I have given them in this work, especially
those who, with a spirit of noble patriotism, responded to the
calls of our country in the day of its need — who were willing
to leave their comfortable homes and kind friends, and take the
posts of danger in the defence of our homes and our firesides ;
but I have not been able (except in a few cases) to obtain the
information necessary for such records. Many now living have
been too modest to tell me the particulars necessary for bio-
graphical sketches, and the records of their deeds in the service
of their country remain unwritten. They gladly laid down their
deadly weapons, and cheerfully returned to the vocations of
civil life, where there may be seem discharging the duties of
honorable citizens. They have no pleasure in recollecting the
sad scenes of blood and ruin through which they have passed,
254 FOLSOM GENEALOGY.
but look back upon those fearful conflicts as upon painful
dreams, which are to return no more.
The friends of those who have departed shrink from furnish-
ing me the means of publishing an account of the toils and the
sufferings through which they passed before each one finished
his course. But we know that their record is on high.
Those who wish to keep more extended records of their
friends can easily insert a few more leaves in this vokmie, with
such particulai's as they wish to preserve for future generations.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FOLSOM FAMILY.
Different families, as well as different races, have exhibited
peculiar traits of character ; and the earlier generations of this
family afford illustrations of this principle.
I. It was a re/^^/'o?^^ family. Religious principles led John
Folsom, the father of the American branch, with his relatives,
the Gilmans, to sell most of their estates in their native land
for half the price they were worth, and leave for the use of
others what they could not sell ; to bid farewell to old friends
and the familiar scenes of early life, and encounter the dangers
of a long voyage over the wide ocean, and expose themselves
to the treacherous attacks of the cruel and warlike savages ; to
submit to the self-denying toils, sufferings, and destitutions
which were then unavoidable in settling this new and unex-
plored country, and in laying the foundations of this new state.
When they must have known, from the experience of the
friends who had gone before them, much of the dangers to be
met, it required great courage and decision of character to
enable them to face all these dangers, for the purpose of obtain-
ing homes for their families and freedom to worship God. It
was a religious movement ; and their religious teacher came
with them, to share in their trials. Owing to the suspension
of persecutions in his former parish, he returned in a few years^
and closed his ministerial work with the portion of his parish-
ioners whom they had left in old Hingham, England. For
more than a hundred years the religious element continued

prominent in the family. When Whitefield visited America,
many of them became his devoted followers. Their zeal in
the new cause roused much opposition, and not a few of them
separated from the churches of their fathers, which they imag-
ined had become corrupted, and they were classed among the
New Lights. The Baptists, who had been unpopular, sympa-
thized with them, and received them with open arms; and
many of the fiimily became preachers and prominent men in
that denomination, passing over, in the division that followed,
into the Freewill Baptist church, which probably has contained
more of the famil}- than any other church.
2. The Occupations of the Family. Most of the sons, in
the early families, learned each some mechanical trade. Many
were joiners, millwrights, &c. But they were not long confin-
ed to these occupations, but became farmers, merchants, lum-
bermen, &c. The children and grandchildren of the emigrant
were extensive landholders, and the 4th and 5th genei-ations
inherited lands, and were interested in saw-mills.
John Folsom, the first, was engaged in erecting a saw-mill
soon after he landed in America. After removing to Exeter,
his children and grandchildren were soon engaged in business
connected with mills. I find their names as holding property
in the mill on the "Little river that falls into the s^reat river
above the village," the mills at the Lower Falls, Upper Falls,
King's Falls, Pickpocket, Crawley's, and "The Rocks" (now
Fremont) ; upon the Piscassic river, upon Lamprev river, at
Wadley's Falls, Upper and Lower Pawtuckaway Falls in
Epping ; and even in Deerfield and in Meredith there were
"Folsom's mills." in early times. They well knew that the
value of their timber lands was much increased by erecting
mills, where the heavy timber could be cut up into mer-
chantable lumber, as it was needed and ordered.
Of the great number who removed into the Province of
Maine, soon after the Revolutionar}^ war, many engaged, at
least for a portion of the year, in the lumber business, buying
timber lands, and spending much of the winter in cutting and
hauling logs to the mills, or to the streams where they could
be floated to the mills, or working in the mills. As the fami-
lies of the men employed in this business must have provisions.
256 FOLSOM GENEALOGY.
&c., stores were opened near the mills, and the Folsoms
became merchants, and sometimes inn-keepers.
Though many of the family became pi-eachers, and some
doctors, lawyers, judges, &c., not many, in proportion to
the whole number, have graduated at our colleges and theologi-
cal seminaries.
3. The Folsom family have had a decided inclination to
engage in military affairs. The emigrant, John^, was an officer,
and the records of his descendants are thickly sprinkled with
military titles. In this they resembled their relatives, the Gil-
mans, who were prominent as military men. They were always
ready to stand in the front ranks, as the settlements advanced
into the wilderness. One son of John^, Ephraim^, was killed
by the Indians at Newfields (South Newmarket), and Nathan-
iel^, a grandson, was killed at Nottingham : others suffered
much from Indian depredations. In every war from which the
country has suffered, this family has borne its full share of the
toils and dangers and expenses. They have not shrank from
any post of duty to which they have been called, in the service
of their country.
It is interesting to notice how the military spirit has descend-
ed from father to son for generations. A son of Nathaniel^ was
killed in the Indian war ; his son, an officer, was out in the
French war ; his grandson was in the Revolutionary war ; his
great-grandson in the war of 1S13 ; and lastly, a descendant of
the fifth generation was a soldier in the tei'rible civil war of
the Rebellion, together with a great many others of his kin-
dred, of whom not a few gave their services and lost their
lives in the defence of their countrv.
